【 摘 要 】

Subclinical cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis were investigated in a district of Maringá, State of Paraná, by means of the indirect immunofluorescence reaction and enzyme immunoassay. Among the 130 samples analyzed, one presented titer 40 and three presented titer 20 in the indirect immunofluorescence reaction, while 11 samples were positive in the enzyme immunoassay reaction. These data suggest that subclinical cases exist at this locality.
